#10 A Short Biography of Your Player +5 TPE
Tobias Worthington III grew up, like most professional athletes, playing every sport he could sign up for. He enjoyed them all: baseball, basketball, soccer, and even a little hockey, but he always loved football best. That’s probably because he was the best at that sport and we always love what we excel at, right? The best athletes at the lower levels in baseball (some would say even at the highest level) always play SS and pitch. In football, they play QB. So, Tobias played a lot of QB growing up.
When he got to Choate Preparatory School, he was a two-way player. The school just didn’t have enough players to field a separate offense and defense. That’s when Tobias also began playing DE. Tobias loved putting the hurt on opposing QBs almost as much as he liked evading oncoming DEs and throwing TDs. Well, not really, but his desire to excel on the field made it look like he loved both positions equally.
When he was being recruited to Yale, the AD made it clear that Yale loved his play at QB, but that they already had a star at that position and they actually liked his play at DE even better. Tobias was disappointed, but he wanted to go to Yale and he could have a full scholarship if he played DE and so he did.
Tobias got so accustomed to the position and he set so many records for the position that he just naturally declared for the draft as a DE. He was getting a lot of buzz from the DSFL teams as many were looking for their next great DE, but as the draft drew closer Tobias had an epiphany. How he declared for the draft was totally within his control. He could take the path of least resistance – the safer path – and choose to have DSFL teams see him as a DE or he could make a run at his much-preferred position, QB.
Tobias did some soul searching. He knew that the competition at QB was much stiffer than at DE. He knew that he might have to split snaps in the DSFL and maybe even patrol the sideliens as a backup in the ISFL for a few seasons before he got his shot, but he made an important self-discovery. Tobias may have played a great DE, but in his heart he was a QB. He would rather play 30% of the snaps at QB than all of them at DE.
Therefore, Tobias switched his declaration, made sure all the GMs knew of his decision, and after some nerve-wracking days leading up to the draft, went with the last pick of the first round to the defending Ultimini champion Minnesota Grey Ducks. Tobias is thrilled how it has turned out. He has attained and surpassed his old ability at his favorite position and his Ducks are on pace to secure a playoff birth and contend for another mini.
S31 has been a very enjoyable season for Tobias Worthington III.

#17 New stadium for the Grey Ducks +2.5 TPE
The Minnesota Grey Ducks are getting a new stadium! Hooray! Here’s what I think we need for a great fan experience. First of all, clean sightlines throughout. That’s a given, but make sure the pitch of the seating is just right so that you can see over the heads of those in front of you, but not feel like you are falling out of your seat and into the field. Second, great food! It may seem canabalistic, but let’s get some duck on the menu! Maybe some duck confit salads and some drummies to keep it simple. Not to forget the traditional favorites like brats and pretzels, but let’s make sure to get some different cuisines represented. Hungarian goulash? Polish hunter’s stew (bigos)? Some pad thai? Two more things are very duck themed: 1) We need a giant duck at the end of the home locker room tunnel and have the players come out of the huge open duck bill. Duck quackers for the fans will ensure that as the team comes bursting out of the duck’s bill, they will be met with a thunderous chorus of quacks. And finally, we need to get a fantastic recording of an entire flock of ducks quacking their hearts out and play that at high volume every time the Ducks score a TD.
